Wedding ceremonies are not complete without a Bridal Handkerchief. Wedding Handkerchiefs are used as a symbol of a woman’s love for her future husband. They are also functional. They can be used to cover the mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing or for wiping perspiration away on a hot summer evening. Wedding or bridal handkerchiefs are most commonly made of linen, cotton or silk. They can also be elaborately decorated with lace and colorful embroidery or be very plain and simple.

Brides generally carry their wedding handkerchiefs in their hands. However, they can also be wrapped around the base of the bridal bouquet. This makes it easier and more comfortable to hold.
If you’re wearing gloves at your wedding ceremony the bridal or wedding handkerchief can hang from one of them or be tucke dinside during the ceremony. Carry a separate one that can be used for wiping tears away from makeup and mascara so that you don’t ruin your family’s wedding handkerchief. Try to choose a wedding handkerchief that is embroidered with blue flowers to fulfill the “something blue” tradition.

Bridesmaids often carry handkerchiefs as well but these are not called wedding or bridal handkerchiefs as this would be most inappropriate. Theirs will almost always be less ornate and decorative.

The groom and groomsmen should also carry wedding handkerchiefs. Probably in the front pockets of their suits. No suit is complete without a neatly folded handkerchief. Provide each groomsman with his very own pocket handkerchief and it will add a nice touch to any ensemble.
But remember, there are plenty of other Bridal Fashion Accessories that you should also consider for your wedding day.
Handkerchiefs are making a huge comeback these days. And weddings are what started it for me. I was at a bridal shower and someone gave my friend this gorgeous handkerchief to use at her wedding. They gave her mother one too. I remember thinking then what a great idea that was. But as time has gone on I realize we all can use them because there are so many occasions when we shed tears. I personally am trying to use less paper products so to me this gift is a gift that will be used for a lifetime. I buy them as gifts for friends for all kinds of occasions.
